EHX Screaming Bird
Request. This layout is based on the schematic for the original Screaming Bird and as such some of the values are a bit unusual today. Try 2n2 for input and output caps, and 47K and 470K for base resistors.

Info from Devi: The Hyperion is a titan fuzz God in guitar geek mythology, literally translating to ‘I can’t hear anything anymore’. Imagine, if you will, a Big Muff with enough steroids in its system to kill an ox with its proverbial little finger. The new Hyperion 2 also adds oscillation to this heavy-hitter’s already … Read more
I’ve done a few layouts using this method, but thought it may be useful to include a little daughter board which will allow you to easily convert any existing positive ground effects to (daisy chainable) negative ground. Just de-solder the supply and ground wire from the existing board, and solder to this board, then take … Read more
Info about the original from the manufacturer: ToadWorks Mr. Squishy is an analog compressor pedal that combines purity of tone with tight, punchy squeeze-on-demand. Mr. Squishy has been tested with a wide range of amplifiers, including tube, solid state and hybrid, and it delivers the goods every time. ToadWorks Mr. Squishy provides great compression without … Read more
I had a request forthe Blind Mary and will do that when I get a confirmed schematic, but in the meantime thought I’d post the Hatchet Harry.
There have been a few requests for tube based pedals and this is one I did previously. Based around JuanSolo’s 12V Boob Tube which is a Valvecaster variant, but here with a 33 – 40V supply via a charge pump. Make sure you choose appropriate rated capacitors for the voltage. This is verified and apparently … Read more
Manufacturers info: The Dirty Little Secret is something we at Catalinbread have been harboring for quite a long time now and we’re finally ready after months of testing and refining to spill the beans… In essence, the DLS is a ‘foundation’ pedal – a sonic platform to build the rest of your sound upon. It … Read more
Manufacturers info: The Formula № 5 was inspired by old tweed amps, most notably the 5E3 circuit. The character of the 5E3 is very unique. It has very minimal power filtering, low plate voltages, elemental tone stack, and does next to nothing to control the low end between gain stages, not to mention the under-rated … Read more
A nice little Belton Brick reverb build here. As described by cj: This one is pretty simple. It’s the new smaller Belton/Accutronics brick and a quad op amp, a Reverb Mix control and a tone control I’m calling “Dampen”. It’s a dead-simple low-pass filter right off the brick’s output (or rather, one of the outputs) … Read more
